To make it fair to the schedule and playoff picture, give the team with the most recent Super Bowl victory, the W and the team that hasn't won one in decades, the L. From your lips to God's Goodell's ear.
December 18, 20214 yr Screw it.....I want Washington at full strength, no excuses. If it's Tuesday then so be it. Maybe they'll move the NYG game to Monday night or something.
December 18, 20214 yr The NFL stated teams that blatantly disregarded covid protocols would NOT BE RESCHEDULED, but would have to boycott the game. That was the NFL's stance. And they disobeyed THEMSELVES. There are a lot of political secrets about the WFT- deep, dark ones that can damage the NFL. Ask Gruden how deep that mess is.

That was based on a completely different set of circumstances, before even the Delta let along Omnicrom variants were know AND it was also based on I believe fewer than 85% of the team being vaccinated. Every team in the league is over 90% vaccinated so that does NOT apply here, plus, the NFL could not at the time have accounted for Omnicrom doing what it has as that variant wasn't even known until a few weeks ago.

It's all bs anyway. Vaxxed players are getting sick and getting others sick, too, so it's just a no win situation these days. Starting to look like another total sports shut down could be coming. The NBA is all screwed up with this as well.

And since the Eagles and Redskins play each other the week after that, they'd be on the same rest schedule then too.

I would do that (in the case of WFT-DAL, that becoming Monday Night Football while the scheduled MNF game, MIA-NO becomes Sunday Night Football), with also: Browns-Packers becoming Monday 12/27 at 1:00 PM on FOX and NFL Network Giants-Eagles, Bears-Seahawks, Broncos-Raiders and Rams-Vikings all moved to 4:25 PM Monday 12/27, either all on CBS or split between FOX and CBS. That is probably the only Monday the NFL could get away with doing that.
December 18, 20214 yr So wait... Our game moves and gives us a really short week because of the WFT and because their vaccination rate is so low? What the hell how is that right and fair.

It's either you move the game and have the Eagles play the Giants on a short week or you keep it as scheduled and force Washington to field a JV squad.

That most definitely would have been my preference as I'm sure is the same for all Eagles fans, I was simply looking at it from the NFL's perspective. I'm sure they want a competitive game, especially with major playoff implications on the line.

Safety and everything else is a distant second.

I mean 96% of all players are vaccinated (so they are doing the right thing there). It is just really unfortunate that these new variants are causing people to test positive, even if the vaccine is working and they remain asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms.

I believe when the NFL threatened cancelling games that was a ruse to force players to get vaccinated. Could also be that they thought if players did get vaccinated that they would longer be at risk to test positive and therefore would not have to be concerned with being called out the way they are by some now.
